You’re Invited

When Community Comes Together, Joy Multiplies.

Circles of Joy is an invitation to stand with children and families impacted by foster care; to be part of the circle that brings them stability, healing, and joy.

Whether you're discovering Joy Meadows for the first time or you've supported us for years, you'll leave inspired by what's possible when a community shows up together.

She’s really struggled in the last two years and I wanted her to get more time in places where I was confident she would feel loved, accepted, challenged and encouraged. I was hoping she would grow in hope and joy and reconnect with friends that are a good influence. All of that happened and she came home happy every day so I know she had a good time!

He had a wonderful time. He tenses up and has had difficulty calming himself. This allowed him to practice relaxing as he talked to the animals and helped him to have a long period of time feeling at ease. This gives him a baseline for him to know how calm is supposed to feel.

Sponsor the Gala

The circles of support start with you.

A child's stability rarely comes from one person. It comes from circles of support—foster parents who open their homes, caseworkers who stay involved, volunteers who keep showing up.

Sponsors make those circles possible. Your gift doesn't just underwrite one evening—it funds the year of work behind it.
